HUD is too busy....or is it me ?

During online play the HUD seems to take up 40% of the screen. With voice comms flicking up and who killed who info constantly popping up the left hand side of the screen is just a massive distraction. I have tried turning the HUD off but then you lose everything !! The visuals suddenly come into their own but you lose all PSN IDs and game info. Does anyone know if there is a way of turning of certain elements of the HUD or is it all or nothing ??
I have had to turn the brightness up as I am already struggling to spot enemies and coupled with the mentalist HUD my eyes get pretty strained.

Hmmm, dunno I haven´t found it a problem. What size screen are you using?

I have found it easy to spot enemies, they give off a little glow, which I think is a great concept.

Been playing on a 40" LCD until this evening where I gave it a run out on the projector(120"). Didn't bother me as much this evening, I suppose getting used to it and not focusing on it makes a difference. I do think they could have made the comms and kills info a little smaller/subtler. I don't want to keep hankering back to COD but it was just about right in COD4. Clear and readable if you needed it yet un-obtrusive when you didn't.

Please excuse moaning Doris here. Played for a couple of hours this morning and I'm used to the HUD in all its IN YOUR FACE glory. I think yesterday we were still having issues with voice chat too.....it was like a sensory over load, voices in my head and flashing images all over my screen !
Much happier with it today
